3A Low Dropout Regulator with Enable
Function Description
Power-On-Reset
A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors both of supply
voltages on VCNTL and VIN pins to prevent wrong logic
controls. The POR function initiates a soft-start process after
both of the supply voltages exceed their rising POR voltage
thresholds during powering on. The POR function also pulls
low the POK voltage regardless of the output status when
one of the supply voltages falls below its falling POR voltage
threshold.
Internal Soft-Start
An internal soft-start function controls rise rate of the
output voltage to limit the current surge during start-up. The
typical soft-start interval is about 0.6ms.
Output Voltage Regulation
An error amplifier working with a temperature compensated
0.8V reference and an output NMOS regulates output to the
preset voltage. The error amplifier is designed with high
bandwidth and DC gain provides very fast transient response
and less load regulation. It compares the reference with the
feedback voltage and amplifies the difference to drive the
output NMOS which provides load current from VIN to
VOUT.
Current-Limit Protection
The TD5830C monitors the current flowing through the
output NMOS and limits the maximum current to prevent
load andTD5830C from damages during current overload
conditions.
Short Current-Limit Protection
The short current-limit function reduces the current-limit
level down to 0.8A (typical) when the voltage on FB pin falls
below 0.2V (typical) during current overload or shortcircuit
conditions.
The short current-limit function is disabled for successful
start-up during soft-start.

DATASHEET
TD5830C
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature
of TD5830C. When the junction temperature exceeds +140
o
C, a thermal sensor turns off the output NMOS, allowing
the device to cool down. The regulator regulates the output
again through initiation of a new soft-start process after the
junction temperature cools by 30 oC, resulting in a pulsed
output during continuous thermal overload conditions. The
thermal shutdown is designed with a 30 oC hysteresis to
lower the average junction temperature during continuous
thermal overload conditions, extending lifetime of the
device.
For normal operation, the device power dissipation should
be externally limited so that junction temperatures will not
exceed +125 oC.
Enable Control
The TD5830C has a dedicated enable pin (EN).
A logic low signal applied to this pin shuts down the output.
Following a shutdown, a logic high signal re-enables the
output through initiation of a new soft-start cycle. When left
open, this pin is pulled up by an internal current source (5µA
typical) to turn off operation.
Power-OK and Delay
The TD5830C indicates the status of the output voltage by
monitoring the feedback voltage (VFB) on FB pin. As the VFB
rises and reaches the rising Power-OK voltage
threshold(VTHPOK), an internal delay function starts to work.
At the end of the delay time, the IC turns off the internal
NMOS of the POK to indicate the output is ok. As the VFB
falls and reaches the falling Power-OK voltage threshold, the
IC turns on the NMOS of the POK (after a debounce time of
10ms typical).

output capacitors.
During load transients, the output capacitors which is
depending on the stepping amplitude and slew rate of load
current, are used to reduce the slew rate of the current
seen by the TD5830C and help the device to minimize the
variations of output voltage for good transient response. For
the applications with large stepping load current, the
low-ESR bulk capacitors are normally recommended.
Decoupling ceramic capacitors must be placed at the load
and ground pins as close as possible and the impedance of
the layout must be minimized.

Input Capacitor
TheTD5830C requires proper input capacitors to supply
current surge during stepping load transients to prevent the
input voltage rail from dropping. Because the parasitic
inductor from the voltage sources or other bulk capacitors
to the VIN pin limit the slew rate of the surge currents, more
parasitic inductance needs more input capacitance.
Ultra-low-ESR capacitors (such as ceramic chip capacitors)
and low-ESR bulk capacitors (such as solid tantalum, POSCap,
and Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
